FAQs

Will it itch?

No — it's the thing customers mention most. Cheap braiding hair is coated in chemicals and cut with rough, impure fibres — that's what causes the itch. Ours is pure, high-grade fibre with no coating: nothing to wash off, nothing harsh on your scalp. Made for sensitive scalps.

How many packs for a full head?

Most need 4–5 packs for a full head; 3 for a lighter look; 6+ for extra-full or extra-long. Mixing shades? Every pack counts toward your bundle.

Is it pre-stretched? Do I need to wash it first?

Yes, pre-stretched — ready straight from the pack. No separating, no cutting, and no pre-wash needed (there's no chemical coating to rinse off). 90g per pack. Hot water sets your curls beautifully.

Can I use it for locs or dreadlocks?

Yes — widely used by the loc community across Australia.

How long will it last?

With proper care, 6–8 weeks for most styles.

Can I mix colours?

That's the entire point. Single-bundle packs make it easy to mix shades and build something completely your own.
